CoolMedics Cooling Rehab Bucket

This entry was posted on March 20, 2013 by admin.

This summer - as it does every summer - the heat will get dangerous. Each year during the summer months in the US, 1,300 people die from heat-related circumstances. High temperatures, low ventilation, overexertion, dehydration and existing conditions such as cardiovascular disease and kidney disease are among the leading causes of deaths during periods of extreme heat. The most unfortunate part is that it's nearly always preventable, especially with a little education.

When the temperatures shoot up to dangerous levels, it's critical to have the ability to keep cool. This applies to a plethora of situations, from work to home and everywhere in between. While most people are very aware that the extreme cold can kill you rather quickly if you're unprepared, they don't lend the same sense of urgency to extreme heat. This is a major issue, because unlike hypothermia, the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke often seem to sneak up out of nowhere. While one minute you can be maintaining a comfortable semi-strenuous exercise, the next minute your heart could stop. This can happen to anyone, regardless of how healthy or conditioned they may think they are. When it's time for a break, you need to listen to your body. It's a risk that's not worth taking.

The manufacturers at PIP have addressed the problem of heat-related emergencies head on by designing the ultimate in prevention and first aid. From their line of CoolMedics Heat Stress accessories they have introduced the CoolMedics Rehab Bucket.

The CoolMedics Rehab Bucket is the ideal cooling kit that should be carried by every outdoor work crew, every emergency response vehicle, and in every workplace where employees risk prolonged exposure to excessive heat.

The bucket contains the following items that can be used in an emergency, as well as for preventative measures when mild symptoms of heat stroke and or heat exhaustion begin to occur.

All items included in the CoolMedics Rehab Bucket use special technology designed to deliver maximum cooling power to the body. These items are constructed by a 3-layer fabric which uses hydrophilic fibers to form a fibrous core and a thermally conductive lining. Activated by water, these items are simple to use - just soak for 15 seconds, shake off excess water and apply. While the outer fabric will dry, the inner fabric will provide cooling power for up to 8 hours.

In a situation where someone has or is about to suffer from heat related illness, these items can be removed from the bucket and the bucket then filled with water. All items can be immediately immersed and applied to help safely reduce body temperature. Whether it's a slight case of overheating or heat exhaustion requiring emergency medical attention, the Cooling Rehab Bucket from CoolMedics can offer the immediate assistance that makes the difference between life and death. This cooling kit is ideal for temporary treatment during situations where emergency responders have been dispatched, as it's critical to cool the body and ensure heart & brain function.

Don't become a statistic of heat-related death when you don't have to. If you're an employer, a laborer or a public service official, it's important to be aware of the risks, as well as prepared. Stay hydrated, don't overexert yourself, and be sure to take a break when your body tells you its time. As a backup for the worst case scenario, purchase the CoolMedics Rehab Bucket today. While the product is not an excuse to ignore the excessive heat, it just might be the solution that saves a life.
